By contacting Farnworth Rose, you will have a legal professional on your side who is a specialist in Family Law (all aspects): -  including:

Did You Know?

The costs associated with dealing with financial provision following a divorce can easily spiral out of control. There have been many horror stories reported in the media where couples have spent tens of thousands of pounds arguing over who gets what and how much maintenance should be paid by one spouse to another.

It does not have to be this way. We combine a sound legal knowledge with common sense and commercialism to get the right outcome for you. Also a fixed price financial remedy package can offer  a clear picture of what your legal costs will be. We can also arrange litigation funding inappropriate cases.

How Will Your Family Solicitor Help You?

At the initial meeting, your solicitor will discuss your circumstances with you in order to provide advice on the best next steps.

Your solicitor will explain the options available to you including how you can reach a resolution in your case. This could be through negotiation, mediation, arbitration or Court Proceedings.

Why You Need a Financial Settlement After Divorce

The divorce itself does not put an end to the financial relationship between you and your partner.

After getting a divorce, both partners can still make financial claims against each other if there is no financial settlement in place.

When you instruct Farnworth Rose, we will talk to you to understand your individual needs and provide advice on the best way forward to achieve the best possible financial agreement for you. Our solicitors will always aim to help you resolve any financial disputes without the need to go to court. We have expertise in high net worth and complex divorce cases.

Testimonials

“Firstly I’d just like to thank you for all your help in this matter. From the start you’ve been extremely kind, helpful, friendly and personable whilst also remaining knowledgeable and professional. It’s been of great comfort to me having yourself work on my case and feel externally grateful to have had your support throughout. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me and my son. We can now begin the next phase of our lives thanks to you.”

“Highly recommend Craig Baldwin for family law without a doubt! Very professional and experienced man! Thank you so much for getting me the result I needed.”

“I have been dealing with Craig Baldwin for the last 5 years on an ongoing matrimonial matter. He has been patient, professional, knowledgeable, working into the evening some nights calling me with updates, but above all has got me to where I never thought I could though his expert advice. Thank You.”

“My solicitor is very compassionate and caring, a professional through and through. I have used him several times for different reasons and always got a winning result. Would recommend Craig and Farnworth Rose to everyone in a heart beat. If you need a solicitor these are the guys who can do!!!!”

“I was advised to contact Craig at Farnworth Rose through a colleague. I couldn’t have found a better person to help me through my situation. Although my case, in my opinion, seemed a lot less daunting than others Craig has dealt with I wasn’t treated any less professionally. He supported me through a day in court, made me believe in myself and we got the outcome that was right. I would highly recommend them!”

“Craig and his team highly recommend for services in family law professional and very knowledgeable in the way he will conduct your case. Got me the right decision many thanks.”

“Huge thank you to Craig Baldwin and Jane Halliday for all their hard work during a very stressful and highly emotional time. Craig is an amazing solicitor and I would highly recommend him for any family law matters - not only is he extremely experienced but he is also a great people person and such a lovely guy. He takes the time to really understand the family dynamics and what it is that you're wanting to achieve, but he's also a realist and will happily tell you if something will or won't work (both practically and legally).”

“Craig and Jane are such a brilliant down-to-earth pair to have around in the midst of a divorce. Craig was always in control and knew how to quickly judge my situation. He pushed proceedings forward, not allowing things to drag out unnecessarily. He simply knew what we were up against and took the right actions at the right times. Without Craig, I'd have still been in the chaos of divorce for a long time to come with mounting fees.”
